| New Stallions!! We are excited to announce the addition of two hunter stallions to our 2009 stallion roster -- Magic Darco and Zealous. Magic Darco is fantastically bred, being by Darco and out of a Ramiro Z mare. Magic competed in the 1.50 m jumpers in England before coming to the US. Upon arrival here, his semen was frozen and he was gelded in anticipation of a career with his amateur owner. Last year he competed in the Regular Working Hunters with a professional, and ended up 1st in Zone 4 -- and he was showed very lightly after the winter/spring circuits were over! He qualified for indoors, and competed at Devon, earning a 3rd in the hack. His foals are fully eligible for registration as Belgian Warmbloods. Zealous is by the top Trakehner stallion Hennessey. Zealous won the 4-yr-old IHF Finals in 2003 and in 2006 he was lightly competed by owner Mindy Coleman in the Green Conformation Division (including Reserve Circuit Champion at HITS Ocala). 2008 Year End Results Three of our stallions finished with very good results in the USEF Leading Sires databases. Mersley Mon Capatain finished in 17th place on the Hunter Breeding list, on the results of his ONLY US foal, Zymphony. Jumbo finished in 37th place in the Eventing roster, based on the results of his imported son Jumbo's Jake. Fleetwater Opposition finished tied for 56th place in the Dressage Breeding roster from limited showing by his young stallion son Gaelic Opposition. One stallion missing from the eventing rosters was Catherston Dazzler (not sure is it's due to registration problems or linkage problems at the USEF?), whose young son Star Dazzler did quite well with breeder Courtney Cooper, winning several Novice HT in 2008. Please keep in mind that these results are on the basis of ONE offspring competing, whereas most stallions have multiple foals competing, which can make quite a difference when the points are added up! VIDEOS ON YouTube The stallion videos are now up on YouTube...just follow the stallion videos link on the list at left, and then follow the directions with the YouTube link. All of the stallions for whom I have a video are on YouTube. The videos are also available on DVD...just call me or send an email and I'll send you one. LEADING LADIES AWARD at HITS OCALA We are thrilled to announce that we have signed on to sponsor another embryo transfer award in conjunction with the HITS Winter Circuit in Ocala. Last year, the award was won by Patoile, ridden by David Beisel, after being the highest placing mare in the 2008 $100,000 Deluca Toyota Tundra Grand Prix (finished 3rd). In 2009, the scope of the award has changed. The highest earning mare from all of the Grand Prix classes at HITS Ocala will receive the embryo transfer in 2009. A separate award (provided by another sponsor) will be given to the top Lady Rider over the circuit to provide a unique package supporting the ladies in our sport.

These stud farms have spent years developing a reputation and have their names licensed for exclusive use overseas. If you want to use the name "Catherston", "Welton", or "Stanhope's" in your foal's name, PLEASE ask permission from the stud farm in the UK before formalizing a name. Would you want someone using your farm name to advertise their horses without your permission? ______________________________________________________________________ If you have problems accessing this site or have other difficulties, please contact Christine at (352) 266-4669 or emcostallionservices@yahoo.com. |
